tom by hooking the hook of-each varm into Beit known that I, THOMAS B. Larooon, a the eye of the next adjacent arm. f In like citizen of theUnited States, residing atInf dianapolis, in the countyl of Marion'andState of Indianer, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in yBed-Bottoms', vcf which the lbllowing is a speciication. n

This invention relates to improvements in' manner the arms .through the eyes so as to form the rows across the bed-bottoni. I The arms 4 at one end of the mesh thus formed (here vshown l beds, and has special reference to the bedmember 7 of the frame, the said member be bottom or portion which supports the mating preferably provided. withfperforationa'as tress." f shown, for the passage of ,the Wirestherethrough. The eyes 3 at the other end of the vThe invention is specially adapted*l for iron. i

' bedr-bottom thus formed are secured to the o beds having a rectangular metal frame toY which my invention is applied in a mannento connect the o osite members of the frame and form a iglling between said members which while sustaining the mattress and weight `ofthe occupants will be sufficiently yielding and elastic to secure comrortand, ease. 1 L

.The invention is applicable to all kinds of beds, iron or otherwise, having a suitable end vof the spring 10 is liookerlv through a suitable perforation o the memberI 8, and the lother end ofthe spring is provided 4with an eyeto recevea corres Qndin "thebuteij end of a lin 9. T

I accomplish the objects of the'invention by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichh Figure 1 is a top plan view of a 4bed-.bottom y embodying my improvements; and Fi 2 is a detail in perspective, on a-larger sca e, of a and the other with shorter. arms are brought closer to springs 10 are corresponding y more nmerous. With the longer arms 5, as showniin the drawings, the number of spring-supports may be doubled by the` use of the links 12, which lextend 'between each two adjacent eyes 3, to which their e' thelinks havev an angular bend at -their-inid- -dles, at which bends cthe additionahs rlri'gs are fastened. By using a large num er of the arm 5 about one-'half ner in which thei sections composinw' same are My improved bed-bottom is malle out ofsprin -Wirle, such assteel or brass, and is comprise of a plurality'of' like sections, ,each formed out of a single piece of wire bent into a loop or eye 3, from which the wires are eX- tended to `form the straight arms 4 and 5'.,l
